Abstract
This study aims to produce standard Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) evaluation tools on algebra materials. HOTS criteria are based on Bloom's Revised Cognitive Domain. The subjects of this study were seventh grade junior high school students in the odd semester of the academic year 2019/2020 at State Junior High School 1 Mataram, which was a model school for junior high schools in the city of Mataram. This research classified as research and development (R&D) using a 3-D development model. The data collection technique used is a test. The validity of the questions was measured based on the assessment of expert validators, taking into account three aspects namely, content, suitability of the questions with Basic Competency (BC) and Grade Point Average (GPA); construct which is the suitability of the problem with the characteristics of HOTS; and language which the use of appropriate language (according to Indonesian spelling rules). The results of this study indicate that evaluation tools in the form of HOTS-standard questions on algebraic materials are valid and practical. Then, the model school can disseminate the results of the research to the impact school to be used as a reference in making similar teaching and learning's questions or in other materials.
